Connect templates to CRM records to pull client and billing contact details automatically, reducing manual entry and ensuring printed invoices include the correct billing contact and contract reference.
Save final PDFs to encrypted cloud storage and include storage links in invoice metadata, enabling centralized archiving and controlled access to printed record sources.
Map spreadsheet columns to template fields to bulk-generate invoices from exported billing lists, minimizing manual data transfer and speeding batch printing operations.
Add institution-specific fields such as grant codes, protocol IDs, and lot numbers, then lock or validate them to ensure printed invoices include required research identifiers.
